Professional Ed Talks: Telemedicine
Professional Ed Talks: Telemedicine highlights the link between research, clinical medicine, and community health improvement by providing health professionals with the latest information in evolving, yet essential, areas that may be outside their core practice.
These videos are designed to equip health professionals with information related to the evolution of telemedicine, current applications, cited benefits and barriers to adoption, and future direction of remote care technologies. Key components of these videos include the perspective of a person with Parkinson's who has obtained care through telemedicine as well as recommendations to conduct a proper virtual visit.
